After 11 years I reply. Most if not all of these items will be at the Dorset History Centre at Dorchester. They all appear to be copies of originals required by law for other agencies, eg Bishop's Transcripts (BTs) are copies of the orignal BMD register sent to the Diocesan Bishop at least annually. If you are lucky they are  replacement for the register.
